Manta Avenue is a dive site at Sangalaki Island in Indonesia that features a set of coral steps full of marine life. There are a few caverns and overhangs covered by sea fans and gorgonians. Then the avenue leads to Manta Parade reef, with its underwater hills. Because of strong currents this site is for drift diving mainly.
